Terminology

The following section explains the concepts central to understanding Notification Center.

Entity

An entity is a specific configuration that defines how notifications are sent from Coralogix, such as an individual alert definition.

Entity type & subtype

An entity type refers to a component of the Coralogix infrastructure capable of sending notifications, such as Alerts and Cases.

An entity subtype provides additional granularity within an entity type, ensuring precise schema support for different types of notifications.

Destination type

A destination type is a category of third-party vendors that Notification Center supports, such as Slack or PagerDuty.

Connector

A connector is a specific integration instance within a destination type, acting as the link between Coralogix and a third-party vendor. Examples include slack-workspace-1, jane@company.com, or My_PagerDuty. Notifications can be sent to multiple connectors within the same destination type or across different destination types.

Preset

A preset is a predefined configuration that dictates the format and structure of a notification. Presets are based on the entity type and subtype, ensuring consistency and ease of use while allowing customization when needed.

Destination

A destination consists of a pre-configured connector and preset, and any specific customizations or overrides made to these configurations. For alerts, users may configure a destination as part of an alert definition.
